Interesting article, amazing things are happening in our region.
Particularly as a Venezuelan may allow me to contradict a bit the references made by the article on PETRO. This crypto, that promotes government, in nothing competes with what DASH is doing and achieving. The PETRO is a cryto controlled by the government and is not autonomous, neither of free exchange nor desirable for the people. Starting because Venezuelans can not even buy PETROS without asking the government for permission and also do it with Euros, BTC or ETH, we can not buy with our fiat currency (VEF). Meanwhile, DASH can be purchased with VEF through the Colibit and CryptolifeX platforms.
Greetings and thanks
